Changes to P5 and P4 carparks – construction works from November 2018

Building works are taking place starting November 2018 in P4 Western and P5 Northern carparks as part of developments outlined in the Wollongong Campus Master Plan. The developments bring new teaching and learning facilities and additional parking spaces to the Wollongong Campus.

From 1 November, construction will start for a new carpark to the north of the existing P5 Northern Carpark. The new carpark will have more car and motorcycle spaces.

There will also be changes to P4 Western Carpark due to construction starting for the new Social Sciences and Law, Humanities and the Arts (Western) Building from 16 November. Some parking spaces will be lost to accommodate the construction site of the new building.

The existing P5 carpark will be divided into two sections, and access between the two sections will be available via the Ring Road. A site fence will be set up in the south eastern corner of P4 carpark, with some parking displaced. These plans are in place to minimise disruptions and preserve as many parking spaces as possible during construction. Please follow signage and the direction of traffic controllers and UOW Security.

All carparks on campus will remain operational with existing restricted parking conditions applying.

End of year shuttle buses

All free shuttle buses run during exams, including the NG Shuttle on Saturday 3 and 10 November.

From Friday 16 November, the NG Shuttle will begin operating to the reduced timetable, and the GKA-NG will be running instead of the usual GKA and GKC services.

Gong Shuttle services operate to normal timetables.

There will be a break over Christmas and New Year for the NG and GKA-NG services from 25 December - 2 January 2019.
